Sports medicine physician Sarah Gould, M.D., and engineering research scientist Kevin Schrum discuss unexpected injuries linked to equestrian air vests. They explain how the vests function, why pediatric riders may be especially vulnerable to related injuries, and why stronger data is needed to determine whether these devices should be used.
